Activity 12.5 — Force on a Current-Carrying Conductor in a Magnetic Field
NCERT Activity 12.5: Discover the force on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field. Learn Fleming's Left-Hand Rule.
How To Perform
1
Place the Rod
Place an aluminium rod between horseshoe magnet poles.
2
Pass Current
Observe the rod move when current flows through it.
3
Reverse Current
Reverse current direction and see the rod deflect the other way.
4
Apply Fleming's Rule
Use Fleming's Left-Hand Rule to predict the force direction.
⚠️ Safety Notes
- •Use low voltage to keep current safe.
- •The rod may jump suddenly — keep fingers away from the path of motion.
